Using the LCD Console

During startup, the LCD screen on the front panel of the RaQ 3 displays

status information about the boot process itself.

When setting up the RaQ 3, you use the LCD console to enter network

conﬁguration information for the RaQ 3.

Once the RaQ 3 is running, the LCD console serves several purposes.

Through the LCD console, you can:

• change the network conﬁguration information, which is useful if

the location of the RaQ 3 is changed

• conﬁgure the uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

• reboot, which restarts the entire RaQ 3

• power down in a way that allows the RaQ 3 to close all open ﬁles,

and minimizes startup time the next time the RaQ 3 is powered on

• exit from the LCD commands without making any changes

IMPORTANT: Before turning off the RaQ 3, follow the proper

power-down procedure, as described in “Powering down” on

page 138.

You access each of these functions by holding down the (select)

button on the LCD console for approximately two seconds. This action

causes the LCD screen to enter its function mode. Press the button

until the function you want appears on the LCD screen. To cancel the

LCD function mode, select the EXIT function when it appears on the

screen. Press the (enter) button and select YES.
